Google Chrome

The fifth annual Pwn2Own competition has just announced its latest hack target: Google Chrome.

The pot is worth US$20,000 and a CR-48 notebook to the person with the best method of cracking Chrome's sandbox.

The Google-sponsored competition will take place at the CanSecWest Applied Security Conference scheduled for March 9-11 in Vancouver. Contestants will have 30 minutes to make their attempts.

The event includes smaller targets and prizes divided into browser and mobile phone categories. As for the big pot, Google will award a prize to the contestant who can pop the browser and escape the sandbox using existing vulnerabilities in Google-written code.

Learn more about the competition at organizer DVLabs' TippingPoint. Pre-registration closes on February 15th.

In previous years, Pwn2Own grand winners "pwned" an iPhone, Safari, and a MacBook Pro.

ahhh piss.. I can't do that

If they had a competition for circumventing locks and restrictions on a pc, I'd already have that 20k..

It's a very good way for companies to test their products, and personally I think google won't be proud of themselves.

It's a genius idea for them. They give out money which makes them look good and they see the flaws with their system.
